The site, they claimed, would "expose the funding, operations and agendas of international NGOs". However, one-year later sections of the site remain "under construction" while the actual profiles on groups are spartan.</font>
<font face="Times New Roman"> </font>
<font face="Times New Roman">The launch of the NGOwatch site co-incided with a conference on NGO's co-hosted with the Australian conservative think tank, the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Institute_of_Public_Affairs" title="Institute of Public Affairs">Institute of Public Affairs</a> (IPA) The IPA itself launched a specialist newsletter, <i>NGO Watch</i>, in April 2001 to profile human rights, development and environmental organisations. However, faced with little subscriber support, the October 2002 edition was the last. "It just wasn't financially sustaining, there weren't enough buying the product," said IPA Senior Fellow, <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Gary_Johns" title="Gary Johns">Gary Johns</a> told <i>Inter-Press Service</i>.</font>

<font face="Times New Roman">While some of these projects have floundered or been abandoned by their sponsors it would be a mistake to conclude they have no effect. In part, their role is to create a climate in which non-profits divert scarce resources away from their core mission or soften their advocacy.</font>
<font face="Times New Roman">While there are thousands of non-profit environmental and other non-profit groups, only a handful appear to have been singled out for specific attention. The key groups featured by one or more of these groups are:</font></p>

"In recent years, NGOs have become more prominent, more visible across a broader spectrum of interests.

Today,<b> thousands of internationally operating NGOs deliver billions of dollars of assistance annually, and the U.S. government gives a large share of its aid funds through NGO</b>s," they state. <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.ngowatch.org/about.php" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(102, 51, 102); padding-right: 13px; background: url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAKCAYAAACNMs+9AAAAVElEQVR42n3PgQkAIAhEUXdqJ3dqJ3e6IoTPUSQcgj4EQ5IlUiLE0Jil3PECXhcHGBhZ8kg4hwxAu3MZeCGeyFnAXp4hqNQPnt7QL0nADpD6wHccLvnAKksq8iiaAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) 100% 50% no-repeat;">[1]</a></font></p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font face="Times New Roman">In the eyes of the project sponsors, NGOs are taken too seriously.

The article noted how the investigation “could potentially cut off some charities from further government access, funding, or tax breaks, experts say”(J.
